Then there was the I saw the great Hank Williams on the stage in Philadelphia, and he was all dressed up in drag From his rose red lips to his hips he belted out song song as he drank from a brown paper bag And the songs he sang of and pain, so pure reflections of human imperfections, it damn near me up But the rest of the show, was of slow And then woke me up
Later on the Astros silently beating the living crap out of on the TV above and a little to the left of the great Williams' head As a busty suicide waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' and laughingly said "I thought you dead" The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head and told her how he had been a big but now country music was full of freaks He sat there, in the TV streaked his cheeks
When I was only years old I went from Houston to Abilene a spunky stunningly handsome woman in a Volkswagen Bug She was with some kids all her own, a divorcee, and I was a man in love We had only one 8-track but it was of the late great Hank Williams and we sang in harmony "Hey good lookin', about cookin' up with me"
Back at the bar they were calling last so I the barmaid a credit card to pay up my tab The TV was turned off and the stage was and the great Hank Williams was so I asked her to call me a cab She said if you I can give you a ride, so there we were out the door and the city of brotherly love Into the night, out of In a VW Bug
